Chapter 3: Let's go to the movies

I found it surprising how well I was getting along with the twins. When we were younger, it was always was, constantly at each others throats. I rolled my eyes and chuckled, slightly, at the thought. Me and Joel turned to watch as Erica and Benji were flipping through the DVD's , rather than putting them away. I noticed that she looked rather comfortable sitting so close to Benji, agaisnt the front of the couch. I saw Joel glance down at Benji's feet...of all places!!!

"Are those my socks?" He asked quietly. * Okay...that was random...* I thought. Curious, I glanced down at Benji's feet. I shook my head, they were just regular socks to me.

"Well...you see..." Stuttered Benji, setting down the DVD case and scratching his head.

"Are those my god damn socks?" Yelled Joel. As Benji's face drained all it's color, I couldn't help but stifle my laughs. I glanced down at Erica and see she was doing the same. "WELL?" Questioned Joel yet again.

Benji didn't even bother answering. He just stood up and removed his socks then threw them at his brother. "Fuck you!" He murmmered.

"Wouldn't wanna!" Was Joel's response. Joel grabbed the socks from mid-air and threw them in another room, which probably was his. As Joel did this, I noticed a clock, a cukoo-clock, to be exact, hanging on the wall.

"Oh shit!" I said, "I am gonna be so late! I-I'll see you guys later...maybe..." I ran out of the apartment, not bothering to shut the door behind me.

About 10 minutes and a huge gasp for air later, I found myself at work, the Wonderland Cinema.

"Where've you been?" Asked my work buddy, obviously annoyed...the one and only, Paul Thomas.

"Sorry!" I quickly apologized, throwing the Wonderland T-Shirt over my other one. "I was over at Erica's...and then we were over next door, helping these twins with their stuff, they just moved in..."

"Uh huh...guys?" Pauled assumed skeptically. How does he do that? The whole mind reading thingy? Oh well...The two of us started to get ready for the later crowd.

"Yeah, I was dragged into it, believe me, it was no party!" I complained just as the door busted open for the next couple movies and people started pouring in.

For the next few movies, we just talked about the normal stuff. Yeah, Paul is a great guy, and he gives the best hugs! (PAUL HUGS ALL THE WAY!!!) He just can be a little too serious at times. Me and Erica have a goal of getting himto laugh at least 10 times this year. A dream like that is nearly impossible!

The next, and last, movie was going to start soon, just when our boss walked in. She also happened to be Paul's mother.

"Why don't you two just go watch this movie? I'll close up!" She offered.

"No, really, it's fine..." I said, because, really, it was our job to close up the cinema.

"No, no, no! Consider it as my 'Back to school' present! Besides, I know how much you kids have waited for this movie to come out. Please, it's on me!" She gestured towards the popcorn and pop machines. I looked over at Paul and we both shrugged out shoulders.

Just then, the doors opened and some familiar faces walked in.

"Joel? Benji? Erica?" Yep, it was them. They obviously came in to see the last movie, which happened to be a comedy. A very good one, might I add!

"Oh, hey Cosette!" Benji greeted, oblivious to the fact that I was glaring at him. "3 tickets to the last movie, please!" He ordered. Ms. Thomas ushered me and Paul away, and hurried to help the new customers.

I just rolled my eyes and got my snacks for the movie, me and Paul then walked into the theater, soon to be joined by the twins, and Erica, and of course, they all sat by us!

"Hey Cosette, what's up?" Erica asked, as she took the seat behind me, Benji sitting next to her. *I knew it!* My mind screamed.

" Nothing really," I shrugged, "It was a slow night, actually!"

"Yeah, after you finally showed up!" Scoffed Paul. I rolled my eyes, I knew he was just joking.

"Sounds like fun!" Joel replied sarcastically, as he slid into the seat to my right. At that, I just laughed.

Soon eneough, the previews started, and then the movie. We threw popcorn at each other, and laughed and basically had a pretty good time...Paul included!

"Well that was fun!" Benji announced for all of us as we walked out of the theater. Paul had gone home with his mom, and the four of us were going to Erica's and the twin's apartments. Benji, all of a sudden, decided he wanted to be 6 again. He started running in circles around the group, pulling erica with him.

Well, that is, until he happened to run straight into a telephone pole, and then fell flat on his ass.

"Ooh, look mommy, pretty birdies!" He muttered, still laying on his back in the middle of the sidewalk. For a few seconds we were silent, but then we burst out in laughter, and continued on walking.

It was only when Joel put the key in for his apartment that Benjio decided to show up; with a lovevly red mark on his head, might I add!

"Thanks for waiting, guys!" Benji stated, and then ran into the apartment, and jumped onto the couch. Honestly, I think that if he could, that boy would be only that thing forever...probably he'd get it surgecally attatched!

The rest of us, however, just walked in and sat down; Erica, on the end of the couch, Joel, on the floor by the wall; and me, by the guitars, sort of by the couch.

A kind of long awkward silence was going along when all of a sudden, Benji decides to wake up, (again!).

"You guys wanna play 'Truth or Dare?" He asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Erica asked, obviously confused.

"Why?" I asked. I have to admit it, I was getting tired, and wouldn't mind going home at the moment.

Benji, on the other hand, for once, wasn't. "Why not? Besides, I'm bored," Joel let out a laugh, as if to say, "When aren't you?"

Benji glared at him. "Well, I am!" He whined, and then glanced at both Erica and me with big puppy dog eyes. "Pweeeeeease?"

"Sure, why not?" Erica smiled. I just shrugged my shoulders and looked at Joel. He was shaking his head.

"Fine, I'll play as long as no removal of any clothes whatsoever!" I retorted. Benji then smiled gleefully, and Joel just moved closer to the couch, as did I, and the four of us made some sort of circle.

"Alright, Joel...Truth or Dare?" Benji asked right away.

"Truth," Joel responded blandly.

"Is it true that you are too overly possessive with your clothes?" Benji asked, acting like a news reporter, using a remote control as a microphone.

"No, you are just too damn lazy to wash your own fucking clothes!" Joel replied, honestly. Benji, on the other hand, pretended to look hurt.

"Oh brother, I am ashamed of you, and-"

"Oh, just shut the fuck up! Erica, truth or dare?" Joel said.

The game went on like that for the next hour or so; meaning with Joel yelling at Benji, and Benji just being as messed up as always...The highlight of the game, though, was when Erica dared Benji to swallow a WHOLE RAW EGG! And he did it!

Benji went to the kitchen, , got a glass, and a raw egg and came back, He then cracked the egg over the glass, and then, well, swallowed it!

"Oh my God! You people are too weird!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, ya gotta love 'em!" Erica answered, and with that, she got up, and headed towards the door, and so I followed her.

"Well guys, we gots to go, so We'll be at least half way awake tomorrow!" I said. We all said some quick 'good bye's', and I headed over to Erica's where I was spending the night...
